“We are pleased with the continuing excellent performance of our clean energy technology. The main parameters, including syngas yield, syngas heating value, carbon in ash and steam output have all reached or exceeded the designed values,” said DeLome Fair, SES’s President and CEO. “This latest milestone achievement at the largest capacity SGT project to date comes as we are in negotiations for similar and larger clean energy projects around the world. Our proprietary technology’s clean synthesis gas replaces expensive natural gas for numerous energy and chemical uses, including industrial fuel.”

The Aluminum Corporation of China’s CHALCO Henan facility, with four SGT systems has a syngas capacity of 120,000 Nm3 per hour. The initial start-up of the facility was reported to be complete in April 2017. The three-facility Aluminum Corporation of China order was secured by Tianwo-SES Clean Energy Technologies Co., Ltd., SES’s joint venture with Suzhou THVOW Technology Co., Ltd. (THVOW) (Shenzhen listing code:002564). Tianwo-SES provided the SGT technology design and proprietary gasification equipment for CHALCO’s alumina upgrade projects with a total of seven SGT systems now in operation for the customer: CHALCO Henan, CHALCO Shanxi, and CHALCO Shandong.
